Event counts include only changes Disturbine detected today (UTC+9). EA → 1.0 transitions are derived from comparing each game's previous and current Steam genre listing.
Monthly release volume
New game releases by calendar month, excluding NSFW-flagged titles and non-game app types. Recent months may rise as our catalog detects late-arriving entries.
Trailing 5-month average: 2,124releases/month. Current month is highlighted; it’s a partial figure (11 of ~30 days).
Day-of-week release pattern
Average new releases per weekday over the last 90 days. The weekend drop-off is an industry convention: publishers avoid Saturday/Sunday launches because press coverage, first-day support staffing, and marketing pickups all favor weekdays. Thursday is the single most active launch day across the Steam catalog.
Weekend (Sat/Sun) average is roughly 31% of the weekday average.
Top genres — last 30 days
Genre share among the last 2,756 non-NSFW game releases. Most games carry multiple genres, so the percentages sum above 100% — they represent the fraction of recent releases that included each genre in their Steam tag list.
How these numbers are computed
- Disturbine’s crawler hits Steam’s public IStoreService delta endpoint every 12 minutes and pulls full app details (title, genres, publisher-declared content descriptors, price) on every change.
- Community tag data is pulled from SteamSpy and rechecked for fresh releases on a rolling 3-day cadence.
- Release events (new release, Early Access launch, EA → full release, free demo public) are detected by comparing each game’s previous and current state; we keep an append-only event log indexed by occurrence date.
- Counts exclude NSFW-flagged titles by default. NSFW classification combines Steam genre tags, the publisher-declared content_descriptors field, required_age, SteamSpy tag voting, and description-text patterns.
- Future-dated releases are excluded from the “released” metrics even when Steam reports them as live.
